Brocade
announced that Spanish cloud managed service provider Tissat has selected
Brocade to deliver a data centre networking solution based on Brocade Ethernet
fabrics and VCS fabric technology.

The
new deployment creates the foundation for Spain’s first commercially available
Tier IV data centre. Tier IV data centers conform to the Tier Classification
System standard, certified by the Uptime Institute, and represent the
industry’s highest certification level for IT organizations.

Utilizing
Brocade VCS technology to build a virtualized cloud-optimized data center,
Tissat will be the first
company to leverage the extended family of Brocade VDX Data Center Switches as
part of an environment that includes the newly launched Brocade VDX 6730 Data
Center Switch and existing Brocade VDX 6720 Data Center Switch.

The
Brocade VDX 6730 is
a 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch that protects existing SAN infrastructure
investments by seamlessly bridging Ethernet fabrics to Fibre Channel SAN
fabrics. With this addition to the Brocade VDX product family, Brocade now
provides a complete solution for future-proofing data centre networks,
cost-effectively supporting 1 GbE to 10 GbE server transitions and LAN/SAN
bridging.

“When
you make as big as investment as we have to build a Tier IV data centre, you
need a partner who will closely support you and has a common view how to
develop business together. Brocade has done this and provided a strong
commercial and technical commitment to us,” said Manuel Escuin, Tissat’s
general manager.

In
addition to the Ethernet fabric deployment, Tissat has also installed Brocade
MLX Series Core Routers in the network core to deliver 10 GbE performance and
scalability, while providing a seamless, cost-effective path for high-density
deployment of 100 GbE technology. Tissat is replicating data across its three
data center sites to ensure resilience and uptime for customers.
